Maria Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Had a friend round when we moved in (to help), and on trying to put a new lampshade on,we discovered a lightbulb was stuck. On trying to move it, it broke and shattered onto the floor. We picked up the big bits of glass,and I said I'd hoover it later. She said 'You'd better put your feet on in this room until you've hoovered' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziltha Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 I was having a heated conversation with the bank when I told the person on the other end of the line "I've always barked with Bankleys". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nettie Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 When Barings went bust and AIG came to the rescue and bought the bank, all the employees (around 800 people) were crammed into the dealing room, I was one of them waiting for our new CEO from ING, Hessel Lindenbergh to talke to us for the first time. He strode into the room, climbed onto a dealing desk rigged up with microphone and announced in front of everyone how pleased ING were to have bought Barclays. There was a silence and then a chorus of 'you've bought the wrong bank then!'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one.eyed.dog Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Lottie jumped in the river yesterday, it was in full flood and she was getting washed to where I knew there was a fallen tree but, you could not see it. I was worried she would get tangled in the branches so was shouting directions at her. Luclily she did what she was told. When she got out my pal announced that I had shouted at the top of my voice. "If you drown I'll kill you" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherlock Bones Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 A couple of geographical gems from my graduate surveyor today (one of those people wot is training to the old adage of property is all about location, location, location). Him: I've been invited to Ascot! Where's that then? Me: Ascot. Him: (on looking at an internet map) oh it's near Maidenhead (which for you non locals is in Berkshire) I thought that was in Oxford (again for you non locals, isn't). Him: (seeing on same map and pointing at Farnborough) oh! Farnborough. Is that where the Airshow is? Me: (eyes now rolling back in my head) What, the one called The Farnborough Airshow??!
